Keep up the good work DK, SS, and let's all seek out the spaces that present this town as one in transition 'cos (historic) buildings are still being wrecked at an amazing pace here, AND let's make the next scene as open and negotiable as possible.

If you were a real successful working artist you'd have the balls to put your John/Jane Hancock where your mouth is.

Or maybe having your cock in your own mouth is part of your problem...
Posted by I May Not Know Art, But I know That You Suck]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:51:02 -0700 The Stranger Cyber-tension...Rainman-like Spell-Checking...the term "ass-hat"?!? The exact indicators of middle-class white kids trying hard to be otherwise!

@ gurldoggie:

"Graffiti writing" is Tagging isn't art, ever...period. Let it go or continue to be gentrified 'cause there aren't anymore Vains or Waans willing to commission this eyesore and it has already begat the $hit that was Priority Mail sticker art. Vomit. Enough.
There's no jealousy here as I and the working artists that I associate with would have bailed at the first glimpse of the other accompanying participants' contributions (as Jason Puccinelli should have done although he did stick way out in the crowd...hmmm?). We continue to win grants, show outside of the US, make proper careers of it, and simply await Seattle's getting of a clue.

Like @13 said, there was nothing earth shattering, disturbing, or even remotely fresh here and those involved would do well to take a break from long-stroking each other and recognize.

It was barely worth free and I bought a watermelon on my way home.

"This event suckz, 'cuz me and my artsy-fartsy friends weren't asked to participate, WAAAAAAAH!"

Yep, pretentious ass-hat seems to fit you well.

However..for Seattle this was an excellent experience and inspiring to those of us who wish to share what we do and hope/yearn to take part in such an event here.. if you compare it to other towns in the Pac NW its still good but not great..and rates a plain decent/respectable in comp to other cities. True there is an angle to the scene here in town that is medium snotty-insider (i'm looking at you Hideout) that is increasing but thanks to the awesomeness of DK, the kind folks @ Seattle School and several others we are winning.

Right, 'cause the arts scene in New York sure isn't cliquish or insular at all, but only rewards people purely based on their talent.

Sorry that the free arts event you attended wasn't up to your standards. If only you/your friends would've been asked/paid to do it, I'm sure it would've been much better.

And while you stew over misspellings, you're oblivious the larger point - the self-congratulatory wankfest surrounding Moore Inside/Out proves yet again that Seattle is still a second-rate city for arts.

Perhaps someday you'll get over yourself. Perhaps someday folks like you will care more about the art and less about the hype (although I won't hold my breath). Perhaps someday Seattle will be able to enjoy a real arts scene - but with people like you involved, that day won't come for a long while.

The next time you make an attempt to portray yourself as an anonymous, pretentious, artier-than-thou Philistine, please do try to utilize the proper terminology in order to avoid appearing like what in the common vernacular is colloquially referred to as an "ass-hat" .

For example: "click" is a noise a button makes when you push it; "clique" is a small, exclusive group of friends or associates.

You are welcome.

The after-party sure was fun tho! Parading thru Belltown with Orkestar Zirconium! Lots of good music and friendly people at the Belltown Underground.

The Muses was high-school performance art at best, Awesome needs to stick to being Barenaked Ladies Might Be Zappa, and this is clearly a click of friends who do stuff that could loosely be defined as artistic. Surely, we all know at least one artist in this city who kicks everyone of these participants' a$$ in their field.

Seattle: It's not what you do, it's who you screw...I MEAN, "know"!?!?

That's a perfect summary.

And I seriously wanted to push those muses off of anything and everything that was nearby. So fucking annoying. (And I don't care if "well that's the point!" because I still wanted them to fall off of something.)
